Millennium students work to perfect a plate


Chef Rich Hinojosa, of The Wigwam, is working with students in Chris Contreras' culinary classes at Millennium High School in Goodyear to help produce this year's Careers in Culinary Arts Program's (CCAP) Harvest Moon Dinner.

Set for 5:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at Goodyear's Cancer Treatment Centers of America, the dinner will feature small plates from two dozen different high school teams led by some of Arizona's top chefs.

"I want this to be an exciting and fun learning experience for these students," says Chef Hinojosa.

He took to the kitchen recently (above) with students (l-r) Marissa Bajarano, Alexis Casas, Aaron Davis and Isaiah Harris to test shrimp risotto with asparagus coulis and a citrus demiglace.

Arizona CCAP director Jill Smith says the event will also feature mixolgists from Arizona Cocktail Week, who will present cocktails to complement the students' plates.

Participating chefs include Beau MacMillan and Mark Tarbell as emcees.  Besides Chef Hinojosa, Chefs Amy Binkley, Ryan Clark, Charlene Badman, Todd Allison, Marcos Seville, Tracy Dempsey, and Eugenia Theodosoupolos are among the chefs leading student teams.


Tickets for the event, $100 per person, are available now through http://azharvestmoon2015.bpt.me.
